yeah it's only in primer at the moment. I don't want to paint it until i have it all finished and running incase i have to change something. i bought the paint in october 07 but now i think i'll be changing the final colour . . . shows how much longer this builds been taking than i planned :(

with a project like this you tend to run into quite a few hiccups and the last thing i wanted to do was have to cut or damage a brand new paint job ;).

The goal and the outcome might be alot different so i'd rather just wait and see what happens rather than say it's gonna make ' x ' amount of power. But yeah, in saying that the goal is a bit more than that ;)

Limbo
23-01-2009, 03:42 PM
yeah to do it properly you need to build everything in mockup and then take it all out and paint then, put it in properly.

h22 + that big ass turbo i'd say somewhere 300kw+

Hey mate,

I'm starting to contemplate a bay shave for my del sol. Just wondering if you had any pics of your progress.

Tips and other info would be great too man. I've posted some pics up in my thread if you wanna have a look.

Any ideas would be great.

Love your work :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Jase

Yeah i got 1000's of pics. i might add to the thread if theres enough interest.

Speaking from experience you have to seriously research what you need based on what you want to do, tool wise. You could end up spending thousands of dollars on tools alone to do the job right. look at PAUL1985 for example. he jumped in, as i did too and look how long it's taken.

it all depends how far you want to go and how much you want to spend + how confident you are in what you are doing. but definately do your research and set a budget then decide :thumbsup:

hope that helps. any other questions i'm more than happy to help. I'm definately no expert but i have been through (still going through) the experiences of doing this kind of project.;)

Hopefully Paul can chime in on this and give his perspective and advice

A.R.E are excellent to deal with and their work speaks for itself. Theres no one else better to deal with regarding automotive cooling in Queensland. Yes they are expensive but you really do get what you pay for. Dean (DL001) got his intercooler from them also. Go see Richard down there, he is very helpful and takes the time to give you possible otions and advice ( provided he's not too busy). If your serious they are definately the guys to see :thumbsup:

i should have some more updates after this weekend :)

yeah i plan on getting everything ceramic coated.

yeah motor is fully built ;) Iron sleeves, CP pistons, Eagle Rods. rest is hush hush he he ;)

man i can tell you one thing i learnt though, oem engine parts certainly add up.

i got heaps of spares too so if anyone needs some H22 or EG8 stuff i can probably help you out.

Also got spares for pretty much everything you need to do a brakeline tuck similiar to mine if anyones keen.

few is an understatement. Many hiccups which cost you $$$ to fix.

Holy shit!

This is one of Australias best builds IMO. Amoungst a few others on here.

That is going to be damn sick when done. I know the hardships you would have gone through.

You are absoulutely right.
If i were to do my build over, i would get the car, install the engine running... Then do the rest... Way too much trial and error otherwise.

The only way people like us can do these swaps is over an extensive amount of time as you dont have the money upfront to fund it and you just need to be willing to keep spending as you go along.

My shave is only about 70% complete IMO and i've purchased numerous wrong parts (or changed my mind), spent a heap of money and broke things, tryed to do some things only to fail...

That bay looks brilliant!

I have to ask, if you were to start over, would you shave the bay? It's a painful process lol.

Did you build the engine yourself too?

Regarding tools, i am a mechanic and had alot of tools anyway and often got tools i needed as gifts.. other than that i bought tools as i went along, i dont mind buying tools.. The MIG welder was the expensive one and i need an air compressor to finish my bay off one day 100%

MR-VTEC's looks immaculate!! I was going to shave the middle of the firewall the same but gave up on it for now as i was keeping heat and needed the hoses to run through it. My brake line tuck also was a massive expensive failed job..

What tool did you use and where did you get the hardline from?
Also, did you use alot of bodyfiller?

I would never ever ever do this again, as most people who have done a shave would agree. it takes so long, its costs soo much money and in the end it probably isnt really worth it.

i contemplated many times giving up and parting out. i've pretty much thought of exactly the same thing as you if i were to start over, get the car, do the swap then do little bits at a time. maybe just tuck a few wires here and there but only ever do small manageable bits. stuff that you can do over a weekend and still drive the car come sunday arvo.

With a big project like this, you tend to lose interest and you also lose the motorvation to continue to fork out money to keep going with it. You dont really get to enjoy the car. Yeah sure you have the little glimmers of accomplishement when you overcome a problem or finish a part you've been working on for weeks on end but you still have so much to do and the light at the end of the tunnel seems to fade.

I saw it with your build how you just decided to give up on the shave and paint. i definately understand why you made that decision and i can relate.

i have a rigid flaring tool and i sourced most of my brake and fuel line parts from summit and anplumbing in the states. I went with zinc coated steel fittings and steel hardline as it can be engineered if i wanted to register the car again.

There is a fair bit of sheet metal that has gone into the bay so filler is kept to a minimum.

All i can say to anyone contemplating doing this kind of thing is research, research, plan and plan some more.

I cant believe the history behind this car.

I remember meeting justin (the previous owner) back in 02 with this car. we MAY or MAY-NOT of had a race with my stockish sedan. At the time had a d16y1 SOHC vtec with I/H/E. From there to a H22a conversion. Then to sell up to richo who would go the step further with forced induction... and then to a "all out" build as we see today. What a way it has come in 6 years.

Got some updates, got stuck into the suspension over the weekend.

I don't have a shop press and couldn't really justify getting one as i don't believe i would use it enough, so i went about making my own tools lol ;)

First up i needed to do the rear trailing arm bushes so i made up some extended arms out of some scrap steel i had lying around to attach to a 2 jaw puller i already had.

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7417/01bs5.jpg

Then i made up a cup press fitting out of an off cut of 3inch pipe and some more scrap steel plate and welded it together

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7410/02gp2.jpg

Only took about 15mins to make and worked like a charm. The arms go over the trailing arm and hook onto the back then you just screw the jaw puller into the cup fitting and the bush presses out :D I then used the same tool to press the new mugen bushes in :thumbsup:.

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/4651/03nd3.jpg

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6788/04qi0.jpg

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/421/05oi8.jpg

I then got stuck into cleaning and painting the trailing arm and brakes and fitted some new rotors and pads.

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/1106/06fo2.jpg

Removing the lower control arm bushes were abit difficult. i did it the ghetto way by burning out the oem bushes, cutting the metal shim then knocking it out with a hammer :o not pretty but it works ;)

I then replaced them with some energy suspension bushes, installed some skunk2 adjustable camber arms and cleaned up the coilovers

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7008/07lr4.jpg

Managed to get the front done too. New paint, new bushes, new upper arms :D

Thanks man, for ball joints i just bought a generic ball joint removal tool from repco :thumbsup: makes removing ball joints easy :D

The trailing arm is actually only polished up using car polish. came up great so no need to paint.

The front control arms i painted however. i used duplicolour gloss black engine enamel. i used this because of its resistance to oils and heat etc.

How'd you go with flaring the SS Brake line??
Mine was an epic fail.

I know what you mean by routing the lines under the dash being difficult aswell... that damn clutch is in the way of it all..

Im thinking of attempting another brake line tuck in the near future, just getting as much tips as possible as my first tuck was an extremely expensive failure on both tools and materials.

What i did was bend the summit S/S with a Ridgid bender, ream the tube with small drill bits, slightly filed around the edges where i was going to flare.. Then i used my Ridgid 145 37* flare tool to flare.. About the first 6 were perfect flares... From then on the line didnt flare (only ever so slightly pushed out the tube, even going over the same flare again didnt work). Either that, or the flare tool didnt have enough strength to hold the tube and the cone pushed it out of the tool rather than flare...

After excess attempts it has distorted the cone. I used a cheap Jegs tool and it totally demolished the cone on it after 2 flares.

Hope you dont mind me asking :)

Its good to see someone successful with it and obviously with working methods :)

You'll love the energy suspension bushes man.

I have the exact same as you but mine are black. and i painted all my arms black when i took them out too. Looks great.

I've heard of people using alluminium for hard lines. Whats the go with that? i wouldn't think it would be strong/safe enough to use when compared to steel.

Well to start with i used steel line instead of SS, much easier to work with, cheaper, same as oem lines.

Yeah its all in the prep. you really need to ream the tube properly or it will interfere with the outcome of the flare. also getting the tube sitting in the clamp at the right height will also affect the flare. but yeah i wasn't using ss so i can't really help or compare.

sounds like you need a new cone :o

You originally bought all aluminium fittings didn't you?

Ahhhh i see. Thats what im going to go next time. I did originally purchase all aluminum fittings and then decided against it so i purchased all steel fittings.. So if you know anyone that needs aluminiumn fittings cheap.. Then i got 3 rolls of SS tube which was pretty much wasted.. 2 flare tools aswell.

I think im going to get myself a new cone and some steel line next time...

Do you know if single flared brake lines can be engineered?

MR-VTEC
29-01-2009, 05:04 PM
i'm not sure about that one. although i dont see why not as the fittings are designed for that type of flare. Thats a question that will have to get cleared up by an automotive engineer though.

man atleast keep the car. paint the bay. Through in a b16/d16 to have some fun with. put some standardish parts on and just cruise around with it for a while. Then sell up. A car in running condition will alwayes sell for more then a half finished shell regardless of the money and man hrs put into it

shaved bay with a clean looking SOHC would be original. I'd like to see that. Would be a piece of piss too.

It wouldnt be easy to throw in a B/D now i dont think.

Pretty sure the drivers side bracket welded to the engine bay is for a H-series swap.

I didnt think a D/B would work with this mounting point?

only one mount would need to be chanced as far as i know. Considering the amount of work that was already done, it would be minimal effort.

prices will be up on the weekend in a for sale thread.

I didn't have the time to work on it as it is, so it's just gonna get sold or parted out.

One of the biggest reasons for stopping now, is time. I just don't have the time for a project of this size. If i were to continue with it at the pace i have been for the past six months this car wont get finished til 2020 :(

Please let us know in here when the for sale thread is up.

It's sad to see it go but sometimes you just have to let go of these things and move on with life. Sometimes a project of this size and cost can cause alot of stress.

All the best with whatevers next.

I'd love to see some more various pics of this during the build up in here if you wanna post up at some stage. Especially the bay shave. You did a fantastic job on it and ill like to get some tips for next time.

You getting out of the Honda scene altogether?
